The Stardust - Eclipse Process Manager is based on the [http://www.eclipse.org Eclipse Platform] and consists of the combination of the basic Eclipse platform and a number of plug-ins. Currently only Eclipse Helios Service Release 2 (Eclipse 3.6 SR2, build 20110218-0911) is supported. Please make sure to download the appropriate version for your operating system. It’s strongly recommended to download the bundle '''Eclipse IDE for Java and Report Developers''' [http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-and-report-developers/heliossr2 here] to avoid having to install additional missing plug-ins at a later point.<br>

After downloading, install Eclipse by extracting it into a target folder of your choice. Start the Eclipse application. When the Eclipse IDE opens for the first time you are presented with a ''Welcome'' screen, which you may close.
